Su Miao turned slightly to the side and noticed the dagger that was gleaming with a cold light.
"Give me your life."
As he spoke, the other party did not hesitate to aim for Su Miao's vital points.
Tao'er saw this scene as soon as she returned.
Without a second thought, she swiftly stepped forward and kicked Su Miao, shielding her behind her.
He then snatched the dagger and pointed it at the newcomer.
As soon as the commotion was heard, the servants guarding the mansion drew their swords and appeared.
Su Miao saw a woman on the ground, dressed in the clothes of a maid in the mansion.
Normally, assassins would have no chance of getting into her mansion.
But she didn't expect there would be a mole within the organization.
Tao'er pressed against the other person's neck, "Tell me, who sent you here!"
"No one instructed me; it's just that I couldn't stand my master!"
Seeing that the other party was about to bite his tongue and commit suicide, Su Miao threw the pebble in her hand at him.
"Lock her up first," Su Miao ordered in a deep voice.
"Miss, should we tell the master?" Tao'er asked from the side.
The moment the word "master" was uttered, the visitor's expression became even more uneasy.
"I just hate you! Why... why can you make the master so devoted to you? Why! And you're still hanging out with General Shen!"
Upon hearing this, Tao'er was greatly surprised.
She thought it was someone from Liu Jiaojiao's side, but she didn't expect it to be someone from Mo Lin's side.
However, Mo Lin did indeed transfer some people to serve Su Miao. At the time, he didn't want Su Miao to think too much, so Tao'er didn't plan to tell Su Miao either.
Who would have thought...
Su Miao glanced at him, thought for a moment, and decided to lock him up first.
"All these romantic entanglements have come to me," Su Miao couldn't help but say.
In previous years, before she came here, she stayed by Mo Lin's side, and this man was indeed very likable.
Especially for young women.
Mature, steady, caring, and gentle in speech, he is a man who has fought his way through the battlefield, but being with him makes you feel very comfortable.
At the time, Su Miao joked with him, saying that once he had a little girl, he would probably spoil her rotten.
Mo Lin also said he was afraid he wouldn't be able to find a suitable person.
Of course, Su Miao only listened to these words; after all, when it comes to matters of the heart... who can predict the future?
Thinking of this, Su Miao couldn't help but picture the figure of Shen Changji.
She quickly shook her head.
This is insane... to even think of that jerk!
——
When Liu Jiaojiao knew that Shen Changji had returned, she managed a weak smile.
"Shen Lang, I'm fine, don't worry too much."
When Shen Changji came over, he was carrying a bowl of medicine. Liu Jiaojiao thought he would feed her, so she obediently sat up.
Little did anyone know, Shen Changji simply handed it to her.
Liu Jiaojiao couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed by her behavior.
"The kitchen has cooked some porridge. After you finish your medicine, have some porridge and get some rest," Shen Changji said calmly.
"Shen Lang... do you still have official business to attend to?"
“Even if there were no official business, I wouldn’t stay here with you.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Jiaojiao couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
She knew that Shen Changji didn't like her very much, but she didn't expect him to be so blunt.
Shen Changji said, "I have to attend court tomorrow, and I'm busy right now. Do you really want to pass on your illness to me?"
"Of course not!" Liu Jiaojiao quickly explained.
Shen Changji looked at her and gave a cold, indifferent sneer.
This sound left Liu Jiaojiao even more puzzled.
Is this a joke...? But it doesn't seem like a joke.
But she vaguely seemed to see a hint of a smile in Shen Changji's eyes.
Looking at Liu Jiaojiao's expression, Shen Changji added, "Don't overthink it."
"good."
As she spoke, Liu Jiaojiao drank some of the medicinal soup, but she still coughed a few times.
She was without makeup, and her face was already pale. Now that she had caught a cold, she looked even weaker.
Liu Jiaojiao has always been very confident in her appearance. Even when she lowers her eyes slightly, she always looks pitiful and charming.
She's in so much pain right now... not to mention how pitiful she is.
As expected, Chen Changji's next words confirmed her suspicions.
"Don't worry, since we were betrothed since childhood, it means we are destined to be together. I will try to fall in love with you slowly."
Upon hearing Shen Changji's words, Liu Jiaojiao couldn't help but show a hint of joy on her face.
"Is what Shen Lang said true?"
“It’s absolutely true, so don’t overthink it. I don’t like infighting in the harem, so I will only marry one wife,” Shen Changji said calmly.
Looking at Shen Changji's handsome and profound face, Liu Jiaojiao's heart pounded wildly again.
No matter when, she could lose her mind because of this man...
She quickly looked away shyly, her earlobes turning slightly red. "Chen Lang, I know."
"Hmm. By the way, do you know Pei Yu?" Shen Changji asked again.
Liu Jiaojiao's heart was floating, but because of Shen Changji's words, her heart instantly plummeted.
"I...I don't know! Who is he?"
"I heard he was a very skilled doctor, but unfortunately he died young."
Shen Xing has met him, but I wasn't in the capital at the time. I assumed you had met him too, since you've been unwell and undergoing treatment, haven't you?"
His deep, quiet voice was so casual, as if he were just having a normal conversation, that it didn't make anyone think too much about it.
Even so, Liu Jiaojiao still gripped the bedding slightly, her expression hard and calm.
"Shen Xing has always been a playful person, so it's not surprising that he's met this person before."
"Although Shen Lang has not returned to the capital, I know that I will be a member of the Shen family in the future, so I hardly ever see any men outside the family," Liu Jiaojiao said with a light smile.
